Today we are honoured to bring you Renee's gorgeous VBAC story. Renee had her first baby via caesarean following a long early labour which led to an augmentation and a classic "failure to progress" diagnosis during the pushing stage of her posterior positioned baby.
When she fell pregnant with her second baby, Renee knew she wanted to pursue a VBAC. She faced a number of challenges along the way, including being told she wasn't a suitable candidate for for VBAC based on the notes from her previous caesarean - something she hadn't been told after that caesarean.
Renee hired a doula to support her, changed hospitals to find someone who would at least tolerate her decision to VBAC and absolute rocked her labour and birth.
We hope you enjoy this episode!
